We believe that legislation and other governmental acts which unite church and state are contrary to the best interests of both institutions and are potentially prejudicial to human rights, and hold that it is best exercised where separation is maintained between church and state. We believe that government is divinely ordained to support and protect citi­ zens in their enjoyment of natural rights, and to rule in civil affairs; and that in so doing, government warrants respectful obedience and willing support. We believe in the natural and inalienable right of freedom of conscience—to have or not to have a religion; to adopt the religion or belief of one’s choice; to change religious belief according to conscience; to manifest one’s religion indi­ vidually or in community with others, in worship, observance, practice, promulga­ tion and teaching-subject only to respect for the equivalent rights of others. We believe that religious liberty includes also the freedom to establish and operate appropriate charitable or educational institutions, to solicit or receive vol­ untary financial contributions, to observe days of rest and celebrate holidays in ac­ cordance with the precepts of one’s religion, and to maintain communication with fellow believers at national and international levels. We believe that religious liberty and the elimination of intolerance and dis­ crimination based on religion or belief are essential to promote understanding, peace and friendship among people. We believe that citizens should use lawful and honorable means to prevent the reduction of religious liberty, so that all may enjoy its inestimable blessing. We believe that the spirit of true religious liberty is epitomized in the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Statement of Purposes The purposes of the International Religious Liberty Association are universal and nonsectarian. (1) To disseminate the principles of religious liberty throughout the world. (2) To defend and safeguard the right of all people to worship, to adopt a religion or belief of their choice, to manifest their religious convictions in obser­ vance, promulgation, and teaching, subject only to the respect for the equivalent rights of others. (3) To support the right of religious organizations to operate in every country by their establishing and owning charitable or educational institutions. (4) To organize local, national, and regeional chapters, and to conduct semi­ nars, symposiums, conferences, and congresses. Mission Statement The mission of the International Religious Liberty Association is to defend, protect, and promote religious liberty for all people everywhere.

  • Cannabis Prohibition and Substantive Due Process
    RE-THINKING LIBERTY: CANNABIS PROHIBITION AND SUBSTANTIVE DUE PROCESS By Matthew J Routh* I. INTRODUCTION What is Liberty? The venerated word appears in the famous Declaration of Independence as an inalienable right.' Likewise, liberty appears in the langua e of the 14'h Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified on July 9 , 1868 and forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law." 2 However, the Constitution never explicitly defines the word. John Stuart Mill, the influential 19 h century British philosopher, economist, and feminist conceives of liberty in his political essay On Liberty as essentially rooted in personal autonomy, balanced against the government's interest of protecting society at large: That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised * Matthew is a 2016 graduate of CUNY School of Law. While attending CUNY, Matthew participated in an interdisciplinary array of experiences spanning family, youth, LGBT+, HIV/AIDS, criminal, civil, housing, immigration, and public assistance legal issues. Moreover, Matthew participated in CUNY's Family Law Practice Clinic, where he assisted parents in child welfare cases and also participated in a summer legal fellowship at Yale Law School representing children. Currently, Matthew is awaiting admission to become a licensed attorney in New York and working as a law clerk at Anderson, Bowman & Zalewski PLLC in Kew Gardens, Queens. Lastly, Matthew would like to thank the faculty and staff of CUNY Law as well as his colleagues and family for all of their support. 1. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE para. 2 (U.S. 1776) ("We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.").

  • Waste Land with Promise: Ch Aim Nachman Bialik's America
    WASTE LAND WITH PROMISE: CH AIM NACHMAN BIALIK'S AMERICA Michael Brown Close connectionswith theUnited States were forged bymany Yishuv leaders in the interwarperiod. Although on first consider ation, thepoet Chaim Nachman Bialik might seeman unlikelyperson to have extensive American ties, in fact, he was instrumental in bindingthe cultural world of theYishuv toAmerica. Never conversant withAmerican lifeor literature,Bialik was able nonethelessto develop personal ties with many American Jews, and he grew to appreciate the advances of American-Jewish culture. Like leaders in other areas of Yishuv life,he recognized thefinancial and diplomatic necessityof close American connections. He helped to pave the way for Israel's laterclose relationshipwith American Jewryand theUnited States. What a foreignpoet who died in themid-1930s thoughtof the United States would seem to be an arcane, if not altogether frivolous question. In many cultures, however, writers exert on considerable influence public affairs. Witness, for example, the position of Vaclav Havel in post-communist Czechoslova kia, or that of Sartre and Camus in postwar France.

Especially in theperiod between theEmancipation and thebirth of Israel,when theirpolitical life was circumscribed and the influence of religion upon them declining, they filled some of the void with culture.

  • The History of Through United States Postage Stamps
    The History Of Arizona Through United States Postage Stamps By Al Ring 2006 April 4, 2002 Greetings From America 3563 The History Of Arizona Through About The Collection United States Postage Stamps A quick note about this collection Below are listed where the majority of information for this collection came from. The Arizona Adven- ture, Learning Through Postage Stamps, software, from The Postal History Foundation and an article from Arizona Highways, A Philatelist’s View of Arizona, formed the foundation of this collection. Some other places where information came from are also listed as well as many of the internet sites used. I merely gathered all the information I could on the subject, put them in an order I could understand and designed the presentation pages. Not everything in this history is a postage stamp, there is some information from other sources. The Postal History Foundation The Arizona Adventure, Learning through Postage stamps.
